Now fellow academy graduate Gray is taking centre stage at Elland Road. The versatile 17-year-old, who made his debut under Daniel Farke in this season's Championship opener at home to Cardiff, says Phillips' success is a source of inspiration.
Gray, who claimed his first assist during last weekend's 3-2 home win over Middlesbrough, said: "I have the same dream that Kalvin had.
We're both boyhood Leeds fans who have come through the academy and I want to do it as much as he did it, if not more.
"It's a dream to play with Leeds at the top level and hopefully we can get there.
We need more away wins as well and to keep ticking off the home wins, but obviously promotion is the main goal." While Phillips thrived under Bielsa and became an England regular in Gareth Southgate's team, Gray similarly benefited from the legendary Argentinian.
